Theres no custom content in it.
I tried to submit just the link to the map in the submission section for the contest, but it wouldn't accept without a file. I will submit a link to the map here, if it's ok. I'll wait for your answer.

standard competition rules -
If the map is bigger than the max upload - host it elsewhere and place the link in a .txt file, which you then place in a .zip and submit

I've been playin' w/ the idea of enterin' this compo, but I'd like to have a better look at the map the pic is from first. I tried using Nem's Crafty Object Viewer, but I've been unable to get a textured view. Any suggestions?
Oh, and does a custom train made from brushes only (no modeling) count a custom?

i mean didn't he use a prog to display the old map in 3d, like a bsp viewer.
i got this one fro Nem's site, but I can't get it to display that map textured.

You need to assign the wad probably...Erm but why not just play the map like I did and take loads of pics...
He didn't decompile it if that's what you're thinking cause you can't take any of it...Causes too many errors.

Lag doesn't matter if you're simply taking a screenshot.

So how's progress folks? I want to see more of Kaspergs when he returns and I want to see where Trapts tunnel leads.
Posted 18 years ago2006-07-21 08:48:22 UTC
Post #191106
Trapt's tunnel leads to nowhere, he is simply recreating the area (and just making up the stuff that's not in the original screenshot cos he can't remember the original map and can't be bothered opening up Blue Shift).
Work has stopped for the past few days, I've had to focus on my more important Dystopia stuff.

Updated D:
Redoing all the displacements with other stuff. like moar concrete. Station needs more light and windows need fixing. That's all I know of ;E

Man.. I can feel the abandonned-ness, just by looking at the screenies..
I really wonder, how it would feel, when playing it..
Great stuff, Rabid.

I won't start working on the skybox until the rest is finished.
In a competition where no custom content is allowed, standard content can be used differently.
For example. A Combine wall turns effectively into a Combine ceiling:

So lets get this straight:
Rabid left so we have:
Trapt and Kasperg as the top competition.
That leaves room for 3rd place so either Madcow, Pepper etc could bag it.

Sorry Doodle...I didn't exactly forget you...I just didn't know if you were still entering.
Madcow: I believe someone on Iwannamap or Interlopers got that error...I suggest you look around.

Habboi: I'll have a look, thanks. 
If I don't find any solution I'll have to shield of half of the map using player clip, and that wouldn't be very funny for the player.
Edit: w00tness!
Thank you habboi, you where right.
Someone posted about the problem in the forum at Iwannamap, and a man answered by posting a link to interloopers.
Now, to see if it works

I'm reaching a point where performance is similar to "Kaufmann House".
The map might get a bit laggy in old computers.
By the way, I'm taking the following paragraph as my guideline:
Will that be a problem?
The map might get a bit laggy in old computers.
By the way, I'm taking the following paragraph as my guideline:
You will be judged on how well you not only establish the theme of the screenshot, but also how well you establish its own unique theme. Creativity and imagination will also be a deciding factor.My map won't be accurate like the datacore>>dm_steamlab conversion. I'm making lots of changes and going for a more urban setting.
Will that be a problem?

Post #192171
own unique theme.That part caught my eye...I wreckon a nice different theme will win the battle. So far we have an island type map, we used to have an abandoned city type map, we have your grimey urban map, we have a sort of desert map and we have a night theme map.
So yeah I assume so.
Posted 18 years ago2006-08-02 02:30:51 UTC
Post #192256
Yeh, a different theme will be an advantage, not a disadvantage...
The idea was to see what we could do with the original textures but also make it creative..
I'm not giving anything away on mine... though most people on IRC have seen the shots
